Manager should automatically update its listing if the package db changes

Description

If a package is removed or installed while the manager is running, there is no way - short of restarting the manager - to update the list of installed apps.

I'd like to see a solution where the manager automatically watches the db for changes using e.g. FAM/Gamin or inotify.

If that's not possible, we should have a refresh/reload button somewhere. This could also be a context menu item.

Related to this, Unfleshed One mentioned in comment 40 on ticket #1 that the manager didn't update the listing after it had removed a package. (It should do that if the uninstall is successfull)

It seems to remove the package from the list (1.2.4, FC6), but it does so even if uninstall failed. At least when uninstalling a dependency bails out because something still depends on it. Somehow it doesn't detect that uninstall actually didn't happen.
